Fascinating


Shorpy.com is the 100-year-old photography blog that brings our ancestors back, at least to the desktop. The site is named after Shorpy Higginbotham, a boy who worked in an Alabama coal mine near the turn of the century.
Lots of fascinating photos, like this one taken at the Memphis bus terminal in 1943. Check the sign in the back. Yikes.

Lots more here.

Man, a 100 year-old blog! Those fuckers were WAY ahead of their time.

Yes, that is an unfortunate grouping of words. Right from the horse's mouth, believe it or not.
